:To all ililomfii may concern:

it li'iioivn thatl'l", tiranni D. l-lAwLni', ot tivi-acuse, in the county of Onondagay and 't'tate ot New York, have invented a certain ,new 'and useful"limellccord Sheet, of which the :following is a speciticatioiil My invention has ior its object the production of a tinie-record sheet, which facilitatesto a maximum the application oit-tino@- and the reading' of such records; and to this end, it consists in the .'novel features hereinafter set `foi-th and claimed. n

ln 'describing Ithis invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawing, illustra-t-- ingl one exemplificatioii ot' said invention. l My record-sheet is provided with vertical elongated .spaces or columns divided longitudinally forming` time, of a piedetermined Working period,

and also divided transversely into subdivisions representingshorter. periods of time,

each ot' said elongated spaces being oit sutticient extent topiem-ivc a, plurality of timeindicating iiiipressions made at. intervals rduring a. predetei'minedWorking period to j The longitudinal divisions ofc-ach elongated 4'space or column are appropriately distinguished in Iany desirable manner.

as by forming the night: division Q of ar heavier shade or color than the day division Lilie nightl divisions in the illustrated exeinpliticationy of the invention having in* clined parallelliiies thereon which clearly `distinguish themy from `the day divisions.

serve as captions to distinguish the divisionsv (Stia hemgarranged invertical lines at thel Suitable words. Yas the abbreviations of the days ofthe week may be'usedto distinguish the' respective elongated spacesironi each other, and the words lday and night may l, 2 of said elongated spaces.

The means dividing the elongated spaces and their appiopriately distinguished divisions transversely into subilivisioiis are herekshowiias lines 3,oriniiig hour sulidi? visions. ,dotted lines 4 dividing` each. liolir space into fifteen minutesubdivisions,l and dotsiA forming five. f 'imitesubdivisions, and

gesotthe elongated iaces or columns for spaces fronileaoli other.

' In the preferable form of my time-record divisions l., 2 represent ing different portions, as day time and night the bottoiprot the sheet,

i additionally fdjistiigiiishing;K said elongated f sheet. thc day subdivisions advance toward and the night subdivisions'toward the top thereof. Suitable characters oriliiiarily used to indicate the hours of the day commencing with 6 A. M. are arranged on one margin ovthe sheet, and prom-css from the top downwardly, and similar characters commencing with 6 l. Bl. are arranged on the opposite margin and progress. from the bottoni ofthe sheet upwardly and it'oi'iii a continuation of the characters progressing downwardly. The indicating characters, arranged as described, designate parts oit' the divisions 1 and 2 oorrespondiiig to minor portions, ashours. of a day or working period, and denote" that the time-mdicating` impressions made in one division, as 1., progress in one direction, and

.that such impressions made in the other. di-

progress in the opposite direcl vision, as 2, tion. and said characters serve to facilitate reading' ot the workiiians time-records, especially when some of the time-impressions formiiig a single time-record are made in one division, as l1*..aiid the balance of such impressions are made in the otherdivision, as 2.

In the illustrated exeinplitication of my invention, characters indicating twelve conseciitive hours of adziy are disposed in a i'oiv at one side ol the card at the outside ot'V the elongated spaces thereof, the char` acters indicating' the noon-hour being arranged iii such io'w intermediate of the ends thereof, and characters indicating the re niaiiiing twclic consecutive hours of a' day4 are disposed rin a second row' at the' other side of the card and atthe outside of said elongated spaces. the character indicating midnight being` larranged in said second row,

intermediate of 'the ends thereof, vbut to those skilled inthe art it will be apparent that my invention is not limited to a. time-card indicating all of the twenty-four hours of a day.

The lengthwise portions ot' the spaces rep- 100 reseiiting' thc regular Working time are preferably distinguished t'roni other portions of lsaid spaces b iiya. distinguishing color, as for instance, the vday divisions kbetween 7 A. M.

and 12 M., and l dnd' 5 P. M. ariA of red, or 105- other color, andthe parts of said divisions between the hours ti' and 7 A. M., l2 M. and l l). M.. and 6 l. M. are uncol-ored. Likewise, it the regular working hours are from 4 to ll P. M. the day divisions between thc 110 Il t) titl fusion ot' the divisions.

transverse lines marking the hours 4 to 6 P.' M. and the night divisions between the transverse lines marking the hours (3 and '11 P. M. would be dierently colored than the parts of the day divisions representing the time between G A. `\l'. and l P. M. and the por- E tions of the night divisions representing the time between l1 P. I. and (3 A. M. Consequently, it' the time impressions are placed on the record-sheet, at the ends ot the colored l portions of the divisions l. 2. it can be aseertaiiied with minimum ett'ortthat the workman arrived and departed at the regular time.

'l`he colored portionsl of the divisions 1. 2 also aid in reading the "time out troni T A. M. to l2 M. every morning throughout the week,4and also every afternoon from l to 5 P. M. with the exception E ot' Thursday from to 3 P. M.. and that Monday lie worked overtime i'i'om to 6:15 l. M. and Friday from G to 8 P. M.

it will be noted that the night record is a continuation ot' the day record. and may be read without transferring from the bottoni ot the sheet to the top, thus obviating con- F or instance, the time-record for Monday on the sheet illustrated can be instant-lv read by following down the dav division and up the night division, it being readily perceived when the bottom oi the sheetis reached that the workman lefty at (3:15 P. hl. Likewise. the overtime record of Friday night may be quickly read. It will also be noted that the predetermined working period during which the elongated spaces receive time-indicating iinpressions may be greater or less than twentyfour hours, tliatthe divisions ot' eaeh elongated space receive the impressions made durinur different portions ot said working period. that each elongated space is ot a breadth substantially twice that of the space occupiedby one ofthe time-indicating in i pressions to permit two ot' such impressions to be made side byside,in such space. and that the, transverse subdivisions of said elongat-ed spaces vand t-lieii' divisions may correspond to intervals of timey greater or less than tive minutes.

Having thus fully described my invention,
